Kathy,
I was so sorry to hear about Jerry Lee. He was a wonderful person. I can't believe that all of them are gone at such a young age. I thought a lot of all the Burns family, they treated me like one of their own, even when Booney and I divorced. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Much Love,
Nikki

Jerry and I went all through school together and graduated from Lafayette in 1967. I was so sorry to read of his death and am sad to realize that the entire Burns family is now gone, much too soon. My sincerest sympathy.
